I don't know why Arteta doesn't make some changes at the hour mark. Trossard for Nketiah, even Gabriel for Tommy.

You get some fresh legs up top, and a solid defense.

Tangent: Holy shit we're lucky.

[–] Oneser@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Because you don't make changes when things are looking like the 2nd goal is around the corner and no one is struggling

He's a Pep disciple

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Looooooooooool you're serious now?

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I absolutely hope that NBC does not put Andros Townsend on more of the games, irritating af

Saying the palace non-penalty was the only thing the refs got wrong made me crack up laughing

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

So many cards this match it's like Christmas

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Lol really? Is that how they're going to play it?

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's kind of funny to watch defenders dance along while marking Martin, and then stumble because they can't keep up

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

We do something from a set piece? How on earth!

HOLD THE BALL

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Prepare for prime Hodgsonball from Palace

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

On a non-sarcastic note, I don't like how tired we look. Should be safe to assume we'll make at least two more fresh legs subs

All 11 of our players in defense.

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Saka is so good.

Odegaard and Eddie way too one-footed

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Eddie took on 2 defenders well. Did it all right except the finish.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Partey hit the goddamn ISS with that clearance

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

At least we're getting that call for us. Eze with we great skills.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If an opposing player held back a counter attack like that, we'd be demanding a yellow card. It's unfortunate, but he was in trouble when he got the first card for time wasting, he couldn't take that chance.

I wonder if this means that Gabriel will actually start the next match. I haven't been happy with this weird makeshift back 4 anyhow.

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Holding the ball for 8 seconds, not fouling a guy, red card.

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cumulative time wasting, Havertz held it for 15 seconds and Tomi for 8 seconds afterwards. The player who has the ball gets carded.

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, seems unfair, but reasonable.

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exactly, it was a counter and he was baited by the turn. It isn't enough for a yellow imo but it is still a foul. Whether or not it is a yellow is up to the refs discretion. Still you shouldn't be baited with a swivel like that at this level.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You have to be aware you're on a yellow card too. Even if you get baited, you have to rely on your other defenders. He was in Palace's half at the time, so there was time to get back.

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Correct, he didn't have any situational awareness and Ayew took the contact and made it appear worse than it is

Maybe Zina for Kai? Tomiyasu status at LB.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

My twerk kings coming on

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Nelli should have buried it😕😣

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Damn it Eddie look up for a change

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We're going to pass them to death. Lol

Odegaard with our first shot on target. Our captain doing it himself if he has too

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

What a shot that was too
